Let $M$ be a topological space that admits a free involution $\tau$, and let $N$ be a topological space. A homotopy class $\beta \in [ M,N ]$ is said to have the Borsuk-Ulam property with respect to $\tau$ if for every representative map…

Minimum numbers measure the obstruction to removing coincidences of two given maps (between smooth manifolds M and N of dimensions m and n, resp.). In this paper we compare them to four distinct types of Nielsen numbers. These agree with…

Let $M$ be a topological space that admits a free involution $\tau$, and let $N$ be a topological space. A homotopy class $\beta \in [ M,N ]$ is said to have {\it the Borsuk-Ulam property with respect to $\tau$} if for every representative…

We discuss coincidences of pairs (f_1, f_2) of maps between manifolds. We recall briefly the definition of four types of Nielsen numbers which arise naturally from the geometry of generic coincidences. They are lower bounds for the minimum…

We study the Borsuk-Ulam theorem for triple (M;\tau; \R^n), where M is a compact, connected, 3-manifold equipped with a fixed-point-free involution \tau. The largest value of n for which the Borsuk-Ulam theorem holds is called the Z_2-index…

In this work we analysed the validity of a type of Borsuk-Ulam theorem for multimaps between surfaces. We developed an algebraic technique involving braid groups to study this problem for $n$-valued maps. As a first application we described…

Let M be a closed, connected 3-manifold which admits Nil geometry, we determine all free involutions ${\tau}$ on M and the Borsuk-Ulam index of $(M,{\tau})$.

We extend the Nielsen theory of coincidence sets to equalizer sets, the points where a given set of (more than 2) mappings agree. On manifolds, this theory is interesting only for maps between spaces of different dimension, and our results…

We prove a generalization of the classical Borsuk--Ulam Theorem under small perturbations (shaking) of the sphere. We show that for a generic perturbation of a continuous map $f : S^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$, the number of points $x \in S^2$ such…

Let M and N be topological spaces such that M admits a free involution $\\tau$. A homotopy class $\beta$ $\in$ [M, N ] is said to have the Borsuk-Ulam property with respect to $\\tau$ if for every representative map f : M $\rightarrow$ N of…

Let $M$ be a closed 3-manifold which admits the geometry $S^2\times \R$. In this work we determine all the free involutions $\tau$ on $M$, and the Borsuk-Ulam index of $(M,\tau)$.

Borsuk-Ulam's theorem is a useful tool of algebraic topology. It states that for any continuous mapping $f$ from the $n$-sphere to the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, there exists a pair of antipodal points such that $f(x)=f(-x)$. As for…

Let $f_1,...,f_k:M\to N$ be maps between closed manifolds, $N(f_1,...,f_k)$ and $R(f_1,...,f_k)$ be the Nielsen and the Reideimeister coincidence numbers respectively. In this note, we relate $R(f_1,...,f_k)$ with…

We consider spaces with free involutions that satisfy the Borsuk - Ulam theorems (BUT-spaces). There are several equivalent definitions for BUT-spaces that can be considered as their properties. Our main technical tool is Yang's…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of the Nielsen numbers $\{N(f^k)\}$, the essential periodic orbits of $f$ and the homotopy minimal periods of $f$ by using the Nielsen theory of maps $f$ on infra-solvmanifolds of type $R$.…

Let $M$ and $N$ be fiber bundles over the same base $B$, where $M$ is endowed with a free involution $\tau$ over $B$. A homotopy class $\delta \in [M,N]_{B}$ (over $B$) is said to have the Borsuk-Ulam property with respect to $\tau$ if for…

The moduli space of planar polygons with generic side lengths is a closed, smooth manifold. Mapping a polygon to its reflected image across the $X$-axis defines a fixed-point-free involution on these moduli spaces, making them into free…

We generalise Nielsen theory to coincidences of pairs $(f,g)$ where $f:X\multimap Y$ is $n$-valued multimap and $g:X\to Y$ is a single-valued map, for $X$ and $Y$ closed oriented triangulable manifolds of equal dimension. We prove a Wecken…

Minimum numbers of fixed points or of coincidence components (realized by maps in given homotopy classes) are the principal objects of study in topological fixed point and coincidence theory. In this paper we investigate fiberwise analoga…

A selfmap is Wecken when the minimal number of fixed points among all maps in its homotopy class is equal to the Nielsen number, a homotopy invariant lower bound on the number of fixed points. All selfmaps are Wecken for manifolds of…
